2Plus it feels less like a trial, and more like a “Hey, you killed your wife, you admit you killed your wife, we’re all pretty sure you killed your wife, that’s a death sentence.” Like the guy who abandoned the Night’s Watch in episode one. You’re done, son.Paul D. Waite– Paul D. Waite2017-09-02 09:53:00 +00:00Commented Sep 2, 2017 at 9:53

2King Tommen’s ruling would have absolutely no bearing on a kingdom that considered itself independent of his, so that entire section only confuses matters and detracts from the answer. And while Littlefinger might likely fail to get a champion, that doesn’t explain why he didn’t try. And you should back up your claim that trial by combat was a right given only to highborn; that might be so but I don’t recall ever seeing that in show or books.KRyan– KRyan2017-09-03 15:32:56 +00:00Commented Sep 3, 2017 at 15:32

@KRyan I don't have a quote from the books (yet) which say trial by combat is only a right of the highborn. However, three answers to this question mention it is a right of the highborn, and not of commoners. scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/56176/… I am assuming the people who answered that question know the source even though they did not quote it. Some of those answers also say it was a right of knights as well, but that would not apply to Littlefinger since he is not a knight. If you find a canon quote for it, let me know.RichS– RichS2017-09-03 16:12:50 +00:00Commented Sep 3, 2017 at 16:12

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
